DreamSeller Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 What are they cons and anything else I should know. I want to use a 100k dual gang pot for blend, Will 100k work? -Dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammoth guitars Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 It should work, however you will not get the full output from your pickups and the sound will darken up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 ...the sound will darken up a bit... Make that massive treble loss - at the center of rotation, each pickup will only see a 50K load (in parallel with any other volume pots, etc., lowering it even further), and unless you're running active pickups, the high end rolloff is likely to be completely unacceptable. In other words, you'll redefine the term "tone suck"! Using a standard dual-ganged linear pot is problematic at best, but the additional impedance problems are likely to make a 100K dual linear unworkable - even a 100K Orban® style pan pot is a bad choice. Just my too sense - as always, YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
